Holy crap Batman!  And I was pround of my Powerbook's 42 days of uptime 
until last thursday when I finally broke down and installed the latest 
round of security updates.  But how do you know for sure which 
subsystems were affected and which programs to restart?  Or should I 
RTF man pages?  They always seem to confuse me - sample commands 
explaining the variables would be real helpful for me.

A little computer haiku:
I can't remember
the last time I restarted
I love OS X
